Best Love Advice From Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

I read relationship counselor John Gray’s book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus recently, and I really loved it. Below are a few of my favorite excerpts; I hope they move you as much as they moved me.

1. “When negative feelings are suppressed positive feelings become suppressed as well, and love dies.”
2. “When a woman’s wave rises she feels she has an abundance of love to give, but when it falls she feels her inner emptiness and needs to be filled up with love.”
3. “Books can inspire you to love yourself more, but by listening to, writing out, or verbally expressing your feelings you are actually doing it.”
4. “Remember, if a man needs to pull away like a rubber band, when he returns he will be back with a lot more love. Then he can listen. This is the best time to initiate conversation.”
5. “Get the love you deserve and gave your partner the love and support he deserves”
6. “If we are to feel the positive feelings of love, happiness, trust, and gratitude, we periodically also have to feel anger, sadness, fear, and sorrow.”
7. “‎When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom ”
8. “If I seek to fulfill my own needs at the expense of my partner, we are sure to experience unhappiness, resentment, and conflict. The secret of forming a successful relationship is for both partners to win.”
9. “Love brings up our unresolved feelings. One day we are feeling loved, and the next day we are suddenly afraid to trust love.”
